Mave came out in the morning to snuggle Nat. She’d gently lift her blanket up and climb in. She burrowed down and stayed for like an hour. I was so jealous. Cause who wouldn’t want to snuggle with this bedhead?After many fun days of sight seeing, we were all ready for a little R&R. We…
Let’s start with what we had for breakfast. Schnecken from Zeit für Brot. (Cinnamon rolls). Berliner Pfannkuchen from Bückerei Konditorei, and Cheesecake from Princess Cheesecake. Not a bad day to be us. Not bad at all. Then we took a train to the East Side Gallery. I’ve been looking forward to this, and it didn’t disappoint. So…
After our flight we met Carlie and Mave at the train station. It was so good to munch on her cute cheeks again. We bought the best strawberries I’ve ever tasted from Karl’s—a tiny strawberry stand in the middle of the Gesund-Brunnen train station. It was so fun to see Carlie’s apartment. She’s living the…
We slept in a bit the next morning and then went to brunch at Peck 47. It was so fun! Service was SLOW but we weren’t in a hurry. We all chose different flavors of fresh squeezed juice and Carlie, Nat and I got all 3 kinds of savory waffles with poached eggs on top. …
In the morning we hopped on a train to the exquisite town of Ghent. It was love at first site. And can you believe all these bikes? There were THOUSANDS of them at the train station. I loved it. We stopped for some Cuberdons, the famous candy of Ghent. We all thought they were just…
Girls trip 2019! We have been waiting so long for this. Our flight to Brussels was uneventful, just the way we like it. We had to wait in a long customs line and we could see Gwen and Carlie waiting for us on the other side. It was torture to be so close and not…
Nat and Michael and Jack and Leo picked up Halle from Grandma’s house Thursday and came to Silverthorne to meet us for a Spring Break ski trip. my good old Sequoia is nearing 250,000 miles. Well….we got about 2 miles from our freeway exit and started hearing an awful squeaking noise. We weren’t sure we…
For our yearly winter get away, we decided to hit up Phoenix again. It’s cheap and easy to get to and we always have a great time. We decided to switch things up a bit and get a check on the bucket list by hitting the Grand Canyon for a day. And, wow! We are…
On a whim, about 8 months ago we booked a hotel room in Albuquerque in case we decided to go to the ballon festival. It’s long been on my bucket list as a place to take the kids before they are grown up. As the day approaches we solidified our plans and decided to go…
The Owens knew we were going to be in Idaho, only about 30 min from their cabin in Montana. They invited us to come spend the day with them after our family reunion was over. And we’re so glad they did! We had such a fun time learning their family history, seeing the old family…
